Elizabeth PRUTZMAN vs Henry PITESELL
Henry PITESELL d/ 1786
w/ Mary, d/ about 28 years ago (this filed 10 Feb 1791),
leaving two young daughters
- Elizabeth PITESELL, a minor
- Mary PITESELL, a minor
Land Tracts - "Resurvey on Johnís Delight", "Paraphrase".
Elizabeth continued to live with her father after her
motherís death, taking on the housekeeping duties until
1780-1781, when her father married Juliann WELLER. From
this second marriage came son, Henry, who was a minor in
Feb 1791.
Elizabethís father had promised her a 100 acre tract on
"Resurvey on Smithís Hap", where Daniel FRY was a tenant
and where John BROWN once resided, which is near Wellerís
School Road. The suit continues for some time for her to
obtain title to this property.
(Two folders with numerous papers, perhaps 30-40)
[A small slip of paper written in German was in the first
folder; it appeared to be a recording of the birth of Henry
& Julianneís son; in part, it read -
Johann Heinrich PEIZEL, Jr., born 13 May 1783 in Graceham;
sponsors were Jacob & Elizabeth WELLER]
